Chapter 141 Deep Regret
That evening, Fu's mother and father had a fierce argument. Fu's mother was worried about her son and wanted to compromise, but Fu's father insisted on sticking to his guns.
"It's just a matter of spending a few more days at the police station. Yun Zhaozhao and the child will be fine, and they won't be convicted at all."
Father Fu did not approve of making peace with Yun Zhaozhao and Pei Jiuyan. Now everyone in the Beijing circle knows that they are competing with Pei Jiuyan. The previous incident was already very embarrassing. If it is rumored that he took the initiative to make peace, where will the Fu family's face be?
"You know that's a police station. Every day he stays there, his reputation suffers. If he continues to stay there, how will Shangluo ever face anyone again?"
"It's time to teach him a lesson. He's too impulsive. If he doesn't learn his lesson, he'll cause even bigger trouble next time."
It was only this time that Mr. Fu realized his son's personality flaws. They had always thought their son was very obedient and didn't cause them any trouble, but this time they discovered that he was still stubborn at heart.
Madam Fu wouldn't listen to any of this. She said coldly, "I don't care. If you won't go and get Shang Luo out, then I will go."
"You're insane!"
"You know how many people are watching us right now."
Mr. Fu glared angrily at Mrs. Fu, feeling that she had handed over something to them.
"Then you choose: negotiate peace or I'll have someone bring Shangluo out? Give me your answer by tomorrow morning."
Mother Fu was clearly impatient.
Mr. Fu was furious. Nothing had been going well for him lately, and in the end, it was all because of Yun Zhaozhao.
He pondered in his study all night and gave his answer the next day: he agreed to make peace with Yun Zhaozhao temporarily.
Yun Zhaozhao only asked that he not harm the Yun family and the Pei family. He was willing to leave the two companies alone, but he would not let Pei Jiuyan go.
With Pei Jiuyan gone, neither the Pei family nor Yun Zhaozhao are worth fearing.
Seeing that he had compromised, Madam Fu's expression softened and her tone became gentler as she said, "I know you're unwilling, and so am I. Let's rescue Shang Luo first. Pei Jiuyan is so arrogant; he must have left some evidence."
Mentioning this, Father Fu glanced upstairs and lowered his voice, saying, "The clerk has been with Pei Jiuyan for many years, so you should sound him out."
When the document was mentioned, Madam Fu felt a wave of disgust but still agreed.
After seeing Mr. Fu off, Mrs. Fu arrived at Yun Zhaozhao's house again by car. This time, Yun Zhaozhao invited her inside, but Mrs. Fu showed no intention of going in.
"I came here to say that we have agreed that we will no longer target the Yun family and the Pei family."
"Can you sign the letter of understanding now?"
"Is what Mrs. Fu said true?"
Yun Zhaozhao asked.
Feeling embarrassed by the question, Fu's mother replied, "Should I write it down for you with pen and paper?"
"That would be best."
Yun Zhaozhao quickly said, seeing that Madam Fu's expression was not good, she smiled and said, "Madam Fu, please don't mind. I am now learning to do business. In the business world, nothing is worth saying. It has to be written down in black and white."
Madam Fu wrote a letter of commitment with a sullen face, and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Previously, Pei Jiuyan's mother always said that you were difficult to deal with, and I even spoke up for you. Today, I have seen it for myself."
"You flatter me."
Yun Zhaozhao didn't care at all what Madam Fu said. She told Aunt Chen to take care of Xixi, and then went to the police station with Madam Fu.
When the police saw the two arrive together, they were relieved to know they were there to sign a letter of leniency.
It's not good to offend either side.
This matter could have been easily resolved through negotiation between the two parties, but more broadly speaking, they were caught in the middle and faced a very difficult situation. Now it's finally settled.
Yun Zhaozhao signed the letter of understanding and left before Fu Shangluo came out. Fu Shangluo was still in a daze when he was told that he could leave.
When his grandfather came last time, he thought he could finally leave, but instead he angered his grandfather, and he had a terrible few days afterward.
Hearing that he could finally leave, he eagerly walked out of the interrogation room.
"Shangluo!"
Although Fu's mother was usually quite strict, she was still a mother after all, and her eyes reddened when she saw how much weight her son had lost in just half a month.
"Let's go home."
Fu Shangluo nodded silently.
It was only in the car that he asked about what had happened.
When he heard Yun Zhaozhao insisting that her family would not harm the Yun and Pei families, Fu Shangluo clenched his teeth, visibly controlling his anger.
"Shangluo!"
Madam Fu frowned and looked at Fu Shangluo: "You should learn your lesson this time."
My son can remain calm in other matters, but he gets too easily angered when it comes to Yun Zhaozhao.
"There's no future for you and Yun Zhaozhao, so let it go as soon as possible."
She tried to persuade her.
Fu Shangluo didn't speak, but just looked out the window.
If he could give up, he would have done so already. And he has already given up once. Why should we make him give up again?
Nothing is impossible! They are all still young, and he still has his grandfather and father above him. Once he grows to a certain level where none of them can control him, he can have everything he wants.
At that time, killing Pei Jiuyan or getting Yun Zhaozhao will be a piece of cake.
Seeing his silence, Madam Fu assumed he had taken her words to heart, and a look of relief crossed her face. Then, thinking of the document, she frowned and asked, "Are you sure the child in the document's belly is yours?"
Not knowing why his mother brought up documents, Fu Shangluo hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm not entirely sure. I got drunk that night, and when I woke up in the morning I found..."
"Engagement is out of the question, but she's not worthy of entering the Fu family."
Fu's mother completely cut off any possibility of recourse with the paperwork: "After she gives birth, have a paternity test done. If the child is yours, give her a sum of money. If it has nothing to do with you..."
Madam Fu didn't say what she meant next, but Fu Shangluo understood what she meant: the document would pay the price for mocking the Fu family.
At that time, not only will his mother and the others not let the documents go, but he won't either.
"Be careful with the documents. That woman is not simple; she has a lot of ulterior motives."
Mother Fu advised him, saying that she understood men and that many men had inherent flaws. She believed that writing could satisfy men's arrogance and conceit, giving them a sense of being needed. She did not want her son to be manipulated by writing.
"Don't worry, Mom, I know what I'm doing."
Fu Shangluo didn't take his mother's words to heart. In his opinion, Wenshu was just a woman with a lot of cunning, and she couldn't cause any big trouble.
Little did he know that he would later deeply regret his underestimation of his opponent.
